Campaign launched to save Coalpit Heath pre-school A PETITION has been launched to save a Coalpit Heath preschool from closing. Manor Hall Pre-School has been given notice to leave the building at the end of the current academic year. But a campaign has been started in response to the move, with an online petition gaining nearly 280 signatures within hours of being posted. The pre-school has operated from the hall for the past 14 years. The hall’s management committee of trustees cited “unresolved differences” between itself and the preschool for the notice to quit. But owner Wendy Lacey said she had tried everything to work with the trust and was upset at having to leave. The hall management committee is now focussed on bringing a replacement preschool to the hall in time for the September and says that it will work with South Gloucestershire Council to bring it about.
